    We were shopping at Gurney Paragon and decided to eat here. I have been passing by so many times and this is the first time I dine here after so many years. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The server recommend a few popular dishes and surprisingly good. I highly recommend the yellow fish and the bean curb cabbage soup. All in all, food is good as well as the service. they are usually busy during weekend dinner time, come early if you don't want to wait for a long time.

    The last time I patronized this restaurant was 3 years back. The taste has not changed so is the service. Food was served fast although many tables were occupied. 10-15 min wait time. Overall , satisfied lunch. Note: non halal

    Putien food is supposed to be dialect group Heng Hwa 's tradional food which emphasizes freshest of ingredients and their ancestral home' s proximity to the sea. While only the Singapore Kitchener Road outlet has a Michelin star, their Penang outlet doesn't disappoint. We ordered the set for four which came with the raw bitter melon slices which the honey is supposed to make it more palatable. We had a milky soap, seafood bee hoon,fresh slightly raw oyster omelette, red wine chicken, sweet and soar pork(cooked same style as good ones you find elsewhere) , spicy clams and mee sua which tasted a bit like Singaporean prawn noodle. If you are comfortable with paying premium prices(around half of what you would pay in their Singapore outlets), this is something you ought to try.

    Taste is good. Server is polite but maybe lack of staff due to the crowd and public holiday. We made reservation so there is no wait time. Food serving time was fast. There were 5 adults and 2kids, the table isn't big enough to cater for what we ordered so there was a lot of rearranging happening throughout the course to make way for new dishes served. They should prepare for a few bigger tables.

    Enjoy the food & services. The food is palatable. Worth for the price for a taste of michelline star dishes. Recommend the Loh Mein. It is hokkien style and worth for the try. Deep fry pork trotters and homemade tofu also nice. We enjoy it very much. The waiter serve us patiently and introduce us the menu. Definitely will come back and try more dishes. Occasionally I still come and enjoy the dishes that I never tried. Price increased recently but quality didnt drop. Hope the portion amount can be increased as well.

    The restaurant was very busy tonite. We were lucky to get a table for the evening. The food was good and the service was excellent. Highly recommended for a nice Chinese meal. On hindsight it would better to make a reservation on weekends or public holidays. My favourite wa the putien cha fen with abalone. It was yummy.

    Love the Chinese food + environment here. Tried the fried fish, vege soup, sweet & sour pork, taufu, fried yam & chicken. Satisfied with all except the fried chicken as it's too dry Food : 4/5 Drinks : 4/5 Service : 4/5 Price : 4/5 Ambience : 4/5

    Premium Chinese restaurant serving Hokkien dishes. The interior is really grand compared to other Putien that I visited. Service is fast and friendly. As usual, the Putien signature dishes seldom disappointed their customers. The chef in Gurney Paragon was well prepared for their signature dishes like Lor Mee, Stir-Fried Yam, Heng Hua Bihun, Fried Oysters Omelet etc. You can find their signature dishes in the well designed Menu. But, not all the items are subject to availability, it is recommended to ask the waiter before placing your order. Price is on the high side, but with the great food quality and friendly services, it worth the price tag. Not to mentioned that their Singapore outlet already won the Michelin One Star for six continuous years.

    It's a Michelin 1 🌟 restaurant. The food quality is there, but I'm not a huge fan of their food as the taste is on the lighter side. The seasoning is more bland. I will visit when I'm thinking of a healthier option.

    One Michelin star Fujian food restaurant does dish up good food. The seafood loh mein is good. The braised tofu is way too small and expensive though. Service is good.

  • 1/5 Jacky L. 4 years ago on Google
    Poor attitude and service from the staff. We went as a party of 7+1 baby, but they only provide us a small table with 6 chairs and 1 baby chair. We ask for a bigger table which they claimed is only reserved for those who spend more than 500. Which is ridiculous when we haven't even have chance to look at the menu. Will not visit ever again.

    A great place to dine alone. Service was prompt and they try their best to make sure you are comfortable.

    Highly recommended! Quality food, quality service, something different from the normal Cantonese flavour that we use to have. Authentic flavour like what was cooked from grandma's kitchen.

  • 4/5 ChinLee L. 9 months ago on Google
    First time trying Putien outside Singapore. Food quality maintain and food are delicious, and my family enjoyed it. Service: Good. Location: Not that easy to access, and lift not friendly wheelchair. Not Putien issue, Paragon Mgmt. Food: Non comment. As good as their quality in Singapore. Recommendation: Yes. Worth to try. Putien is always my favourite.

    We had dinner here and enjoyed the decor and good service. The staff were very attentive, refilling our tea without us asking. Food was of high quality and delicious. A great place for a pleasant dining experience.

  • 3/5 Choo 9 months ago on Google
    Food taste is okay, but the portion is small. Service is good, but for the wet towel, there were two on the table and i returned at the beginning, and they still charged me the wet towel, with quantity of three… i just saw it afterward as during the bill payment as i was in rush. Not a big money but just don’t like this kind of feelings. For atmosphere, the environment is nice, just personally feel a bit hot and the air conditioning can be further improved.

  • 5/5 Josephine K. 8 months ago on Google
    Our first time visiting this Putien, food is excellent with good quality ingredients & good cooking skills. We especially love the Cabbage soup, roast salty pork leg, sweet & sour pork. The service is very good also. Worth the money. Will definitely come again.

    Food Standard as good as Singapore. Waiting time was not too long, been told 15-20 mins but table is ready about 10 mins. Double storey, turn over time is pretty fast. Food has several sizes including XS, which is good for small eater may have the chance to try out different dishes. Service generally are good, food serve pretty fast. Overall are great experience to dine in at this first Putien in Penang.

    I rate 1 star mainly from servicing stand point. While i wear back my facemask (with new Malaysia gov SOP rule starting 1st Aug 2020) repling an urgent msg in a shop, a lady worker come over pressuring me leave my table because got other customers are waiting. 1st of all, i haven't finished my drink on the table. 2nd, I still notice quite a few unoccupied tables around in the shop. This is 1st time i experienced such rude service in F&B industry. Totally dissapointed with these kind of servicing attitude ! Pls be sensitive & improve. Thx.

    Place was super busy and due to rmco, the kitchen were understaffed hence longer waiting period. Manager was very apologetic and offered free desserts. Very good attitude and although super busy, the food quality and service were top notched. Well done and do keep up.

    Taste normal, But service is fast n Good.

  • 1/5 Samantha L. 5 years ago on Google
    Portion are super small with that expensive price. Less indregients in the famous heng hua meehoon. Come 2 clams shell that don't have clams at all. Fried yellow fish is a bit salty. The oyster omelette is cripsy and only little oyster inside. Basically full of flour. I had try the one in Singapore and it is really not what I have taste before. Even out next table complain about their food which taste horrible for 2 visits. Service is friendly.

  • 5/5 几米林Jimmy 5 years ago on Google
    Like this Restoran 真心不错???? Putien, the Michelin One-Star restaurant finally opens in Penang. As soon as i get to know, 2/4/18 I brought my family to here for dinner The restaurant is bright n clean and the high ceiling environment is comfortable The staffs are all trained, polite and friendly. Although the dishes take time to be served, what i can conclude is some the dishes are really tasty, It's definitely worth the wait. The taste of every dish is up to the standard 4+ and i would rate some of the dishes 5/5, the bi-hoon(主食)and bamboo ? soup became our family’s best choice ??? Back again on 4 April for lunch, try some other dishes yummy as well, but air conditioning seems like not sufficient during lunch hour 280718 having a family gettering, we have a family set dinner for 10, very delicious and sufficient for big eater

  • 5/5 CheeWah C. 6 years ago on Google
    PUTIEN offers Putian, Fujian cuisine hardly found in Malaysia. Each dish has its unique way of sourcing and preparation. Recommending Braised Pig Intestine with little-to-none boar taint, refreshing Iced Bitter Gourd and sweet Stir-Fried Yam. Be sure to dip the food with signature Spice Mum chili sauce available on each table.

  • 4/5 Jadon O. 4 years ago on Google
    A michelin 1 star restaurant, overall satisfy with the food, although the price might be a bit higher than the range, but worth for try.

    Great service. Food is tasty. Price is on the high side. My favourite is the prawn bamboo soup.

  • 5/5 Andros L. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the more expensive Chinese restaurants serving Xinghua cuisine. The items are definitely priced in the higher side but you get your money's worth on the freshness of the ingredienta, quality of the food and the 1st class service that PUTIEN is also famous for, the Putien Penang branch takes the service standard to an even higher level than those in Singapore.
